When you decide to change your life, big things happen. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s impossible!
A year ago:
• I didn’t speak English.
• Had never done sales.
• Never organized an event.
• Never been to the US.
• Didn’t know what a hackathon was.
I was a cultural strategist in fashion and advertising in Paris. My world was trends, research and brand strategy.
I left Paris for Malta to learn English and break into tech.
In April, I arrived in SF knowing no one, looking for a job in tech.
Today, I do events, sales, content and hiring for AI labs. I organize AI hackathons around the world. All in English.
Now I’m back in SF, with friends, partners and projects to build together.
And at the end of August, I wasn’t even on X.
I had nothing to lose by trying. Everything to gain.
